Understanding Valence Security

Valence Security is a SaaS and AI security company that finds and protects every human, non-human and AI agent identity across endpoint, cloud and SaaS. It is built for large enterprises whose security teams struggle to keep track of the applications, integrations and AI tools spreading across the business.

Its single platform gives those teams one place to see which apps, integrations and agents hold access to company data, decide which of that access is risky, and act on it.

What Valence Security Does

SaaS and AI sprawl creates a moving attack surface: new apps, connected integrations, service accounts and agents with access that nobody reviewed. Valence organises its answer around three identity pillars, Discover, Protect and Monitor. Each risk is tied back to the identity behind it, whether that is an employee, a service account, an integration or an AI agent, so a team can fix the access itself and not only the setting that exposed it. The result is one view of visibility and control across SaaS applications, AI tools and AI agents, sized for enterprises with many business units and thousands of connected apps.

Products

SaaS And AI Discovery

Discovery inventories SaaS and AI usage across the business, separating sanctioned from unsanctioned apps and surfacing shadow IT and AI tools that employees have adopted on their own.

SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)

SSPM identifies and prioritises risk across SaaS applications. It checks configurations against best practice, flags drift from defined baselines and maps findings to CIS, ISO, SOC 2 and NIST, which helps teams that must show auditors their SaaS estate is configured correctly.

AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM)

AI-SPM assesses and governs how AI tools and agents are used, what they can access and how risky they are. It is the product for organisations that need to get a handle on AI adoption without blocking it. Valence helps control agents such as Claude Code, OpenClaw and Agentforce, covering their access, permissions and behaviour across the SaaS estate.

  • Inventories AI tools, agents, integrations and MCP servers
  • Finds shadow AI tools and agents and monitors AI features embedded in SaaS apps
  • Governs AI-driven integrations and AI agents that have cross-SaaS access

SaaS And AI Risk Remediation

Risk Remediation puts fixes into practice through flexible workflows: guided steps, one-click fixes, tickets, automated triggers and outreach to business owners, so a small security team can close findings without chasing each app owner by hand.

Identity Threat Detection And Response (ITDR)

ITDR detects and responds to identity-based threats across SaaS. It monitors human and non-human identities for suspicious behaviour, supports threat hunting and feeds SaaS telemetry into existing incident response processes.

How It Works

ComponentWhat it does
Application connectionsValence connects to the SaaS and AI applications it covers and reads their configuration, users, integrations and activity, across endpoint, cloud and SaaS.
Identity and endpoint contextIdentity providers and endpoint tools add context about who each user is and which devices they work from.
Outbound workflowFindings flow out to ticketing, messaging and incident response, so fixes happen in the tools teams already use.
Enterprise tenancyOne deployment can span multiple tenants for subsidiaries, regions and departments.
